credits:
I saw Matthew Shipp and William Parker playing free jazz two
weeks ago and it was the best thing I have seen in yearsàI
was nearly in tears. It was humbling."
- Jason Pierce, founder of Spiritualized
"Matthew Shipp has this cinematic drama because of the way
he keeps crunching and jarring the melody."
- Herbie Hancock
Matthew Shipp's follow-up to the critically acclaimed, #1
CMJ jazz record, "New Orbit." Shipp set out to build a
platform of acoustic and electronic rhythm figures to serve
as a backdrop for a canvas of organic compositions based on
improvisational impulses.
For more than a decade, Shipp has broken barriers and genre
with his original style. In Nu Bop, he continues to
challenge the limits and preconceptions of jazz with this
explosive, beats-driven modern jazz recording.
Bassist William Parker takes on the unusual role as funk
meister. Reedman Daniel Carter turns in soaring performances
that seem to defy gravity. And Guillermo E. Brown emerges by
driving electronic beats with the best of modern drumming,
thereby defining of new era of percussion. Interwoven into
the fabric is Chris Flam's (DJ Spooky, A Guy Called Gerald)
programming insights and deft editing skills. It's not your
typical Matt Shipp album... but then again, what is?
